Job description

Mʰ te whai waahi | About the opportunity

We’âƥ…? Wait that looks wrong. I realize I accidentally introduced the wrong character. I need to correct the title back to the exact original text, which is "Mû te whai waahi | About the opportunity". I will replace the heading with that accurate text. Then again I mistakenly used a curly apostrophe. I will keep the exact same punctuation as the original. I will input the headline as:
